Cameron Johnson is not playoff team Power forward. Look his stats.

Ayton needs to get more touches they did a poor job of getting him the ball and he was dominating down low

There is no good explanation for Payne closing out that game.

I've checked Rubio's stat after every game with the Wolves and you can tell he hates being there.

7/8/9 seeds all at 8-7 which is what our record will be if we lose to them again.

Absolutely disgusted with this game. Refs screwed us with that call on Booker, which would have been a 5 point swing. But no excuses for blowing a 14 point lead, and continually sloppy play throughout the second half. Not calling a TO at the end of regulation was also moronic.

This is the most unlikeable non-crappy Suns team I can remember. How could we blow this game? We play the right way, build a lead, then alternate turnovers and bad shots until the team catches up to us. Paul and Booker having a competition on who’s better at dribbling into traffic and losing the ball. Count on at least three turnovers from each of them per game where they jump in the air with no plan on what they’re gonna do with the ball. Mikal on fire from 3? Let’s freeze him out in the 2nd half. Ayton playing excellent and aggressive? Ignore him in the post over and over and over to pound the rock into a turnover. Monty needs to straighten them out when they get in these modes, not just let it happen every game and expect them to self regulate. We get one game of mostly playing the right way, now they’re back on this pre-postponed BS. Man this game really pissed me off...

Yup... 80 mill down da drain
Could be the biggest financial waste since Brandon Knight


Tell me about it.. besides the first game versus Mavs where he made big buckets, what other games has he saved us? Frustrating to watch, missing Rubio more as days pass on.

I believe Monty wanted another playmaker in or else they would have forced the ball out of Paul's hand every time. I actually didn't mind this move.

Was that within the last 2 minutes? I'd love to hear the 2 minute report on that one. If there is another angle we're missing (I think if there was contact, it was with the left elbow), I want to see it. If not, then I agree, this was a really questionable call.

We did catch a break with the offensive interference by Bridges, so we got 2pts back there, but still, the Book phantom foul was a 5pt swing.


There obviously wasn't with the right elbow and the head was already going back as if it got hit with the left, but you still couldn't see it from any view, so it shouldn't have been reversed. Though if Book didn't touch him with his left elbow that was one hell of a flop with timing and stuff.

I wonder if anyone saved the play and posted it to twitter.

Chris Paul lost us this game. Terrible shot selection and sloppy play. Suns have no chance to win tomorrow’s game without Booker.

I don’t know that he’s necessarily rushing, but his shot is definitely a bit off. He seems a bit bulkier (a good thing IMO) so maybe he’s adjusting to some additional strength? Either way, he always contributes in other ways on the court and makes good decisions (unlike some of the other rock pounders on the team). His shot will find its way back.

If Booker is out, Cam better be on next game to have a chance to win.
